We don’t need to speculate about how his proposal, such as it is, would work, because we’ve seen this movie; that’s exactly how health insurance worked before Obamacare went into effect in 2014, after which insurers were prevented from discriminating based on medical history. Under the pre-Obamacare system, insurers often refused to cover Americans with pre-existing health conditions or required that they pay very high premiums — which meant that they effectively denied health care, in many instances, those who needed it most.

Physics-wise, unless it's Kelvin, yes.

In terms of perception; it's pretty clear that they're talking about having a degree measurement that's twice the numeric value of one in Fahrenheit.

I don't think he was running to win; he was running on the theory that his name would cause low-information voters to shift from Biden to Kennedy, enabling Trump to win.

It prevents geographic monopolization of power, so that there isn't one all-powerful state. Written into the original Constitution and modified somewhat by the 12th amendment.

It won't stop until we get emissions down to zero, which means approximately ending fossil fuel extraction, ending deforestation, and halting the use of a few trace chemicals. Right now, we're at the point where emissions might be just starting to decline.

Sodium-ion is one of several technologies which might end up being how we do storage; there are a bunch of iron-chemistry flow battery technologies which might be cheaper. It's not at all clear which will be the best choice for stationary storage at this point.

Because the reddit user linked to a set of reliable sources for everything except the photo of the jet showing its tail number and use by the Trump campaign (which they provided)
